*Room and board includes rent, food, and utilities.
**Guideline budget includes additional $750 transportation allowance for non-residents.
***Includes estimated 5% resident and 3% non-resident tuition increase over 2020-2021 rates. Actual tuition will be set by the Regents of the University of Michigan in June 2021. If tuition is less, the budget and aid will be adjusted to reflect the decrease. Beginning Spring/Summer 2020, the Medical School revised its terms to align with Central Campus. Tuition was spread evenly across 12 terms in AY 20-21 and 11 terms in AY 21-22. Due to this, tuition rates by term will see some increases as part of this smoothing required for this realignment.
Mandatory health insurance costs are not included in this budget. Health insurance costs may be funded through outside sources upon request.
